(Not required but recommended for the best experience)
This mod adds multiple creepy entities to your world, some are completely harmless, some may simply jumpscare or hit you, some may break blocks or build strange structures.
There is also the "main" entity with the same name as the mod itself, which can actually cause problems to you unlike the lesser ones but most of the times it just prefers to stalk you.
As of now, the mod has four entities:
Spoiler
( As the summary says, all of them are highly configurable using
Configured )
This mod is essentially a remake of my very old mod, it doesn't have too many new features compared to that one but it was completely recoded to heavily improve some technical aspects and HEAVILY reduce the amount of bugs.
Itszhaba - most of the hood texture
Mr. Gibbo - jumpscare sound
Riverrflower - idea and design of Victim and Vortex
MediaMotifs - soundtrack for creepy music event
